ABSTRACT

Responsive to concurrently recording on a plurality of recorders a telephonic interaction constructing a plurality of playlists, and according to faults identified while recording the plurality of playlists evaluating a quantitative quality score for each playlist in the plurality of playlists and presenting the playlists in a prioritized order according to the scores thereof.

BACKGROUND

The present disclosure generally relates to playback of recordings, and more specifically to playback of telephonic recordings.

Multiple recordings of telephonic calls may vary in quality such as due to electrical interferences or cross-talks. In telephonic calls carried out on networks, such as VoIP, quality of recordings may vary due to factors such as distortion of data in the communications, packets loss or incorrect timing.

Thus, having recordings obtained from telephonic calls may thus vary in quality, even calls concurrently obtained from a plurality of recorders.

SUMMARY

One exemplary embodiment of the disclosed subject matter is a method for prioritization of recorded playlists, comprising concurrently recording on a plurality of recorders constructed and configured to record telephonic interactions and identify faults occurring therein a telephonic interaction provided by a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) under a control of a computerized apparatus, thus recording and constructing in a storage device a plurality of playlists along with the identified faults in the recording of the playlists, and subsequent to completing the interaction, evaluating for each playlist in the plurality of playlists a quantitative quality score according to the identified faults of each of the playlists, thus reflecting by each score the quality of each playlist in the plurality of playlists, and further presenting the playlists in a prioritized order according to the scores thereof.

In some embodiments, evaluating the quantitative quality score is constructed by a weighted combination of quantifications of faults.

In some embodiments, the weights are determined experimentally.

In some embodiments, presenting the playlists comprises displaying the playlists in a prioritized order, thus facilitating for a user to select playlists according to the evaluated quality thereof.

In some embodiments, presenting the playlists comprises sounding the playlists in a prioritized order, thus sounding the contents of the telephonic interaction to a certain degree of fidelity.

Another exemplary embodiment of the disclosed subject matter is a computerized system for prioritization of recorded playlists, comprising a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) for providing a telephonic interaction, a CTI apparatus (Computer Telephony Integration apparatus) interfacing with the PBX for telephonic call flow control, a plurality of recorders configured to record the telephonic interaction, a computerized apparatus as a controller interfacing with the CTI and configured to control the operations of the plurality of recorders and further configured to obtain information about the progress of and occurrences in the telephonic interaction, a storage device linkable with the plurality of recorders and the controller for storing the playlists and information related to the progress of and occurrences in the telephonic interaction, and a processor operative by a program to evaluate the qualities of the stored playlists and to assign scores of qualities to each playlist and further to prioritize the playlists according to the scores thereof.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In the context of the present disclosure, without limiting, term ‘telephonic’ relates to data transfers between two or more devices. The data may be of any form, such as voice, image or video or any other medium, transferable over any type or combination of communication facilities, such as PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network), computer networks, Internet or wireless communications.

In the context of the present disclosure, without limiting, the term ‘recording’ is unambiguously directed to two concepts; one concept is the operation of converting audio signals to a storable format or an organization, and the other concept relates to data obtained from the conversion operation. Thus, the terms are unequivocally distinct as evident in the context thereof and as the first one relates to an operation and the other one related to a noun such as data.

In the context of the present disclosure, without limiting and unless clearly otherwise evident, the term ‘interaction’ denotes operations or actions taken in and/or for and/or involved in conducting and recording a telephonic call and denoted also as a telephonic interaction.

In the context of some embodiments of the present disclosure, without limiting, a playlist is a set of recordings of telephonic interaction, inclusive of recordings of handovers between parties of the interaction. It is noted that a playlist may include one recording of the interaction. The playlist is amendable, at least partly, to an audible presentation.

In the context of the present disclosure, without limiting the scope thereof, playlists are recorded over a network, possibly at least in an environment with electrical interferences.

As used herein, the term ‘parallel’ or ‘concurrent’ with respect to operations implies one or more operations operative in a practically and/or sufficient concurrent manner, yet not necessarily strictly simultaneously.

In the context the present disclosure, without limiting, the term ‘PBX’ (Private Branch Exchange) denotes any instrument or apparatus that provides a telephonic access and switching and/or routing.

In the context of the present disclosure the term CTI apparatus (Computer Telephony Integration apparatus) is as known in the art, for example products of Avaya (Avaya Inc.), Cisco (Cisco Systems, Inc.), Alcatel (ALCATEL-LUCENT S.A.) or Genesys (Genesys Telecommunications Laboratories). Yet, without limiting, a CTI apparatus denotes any data processing device, such as a computer, having hardware components for communicating and/or intercommunicating with a PBX. The communication and/or intercommunication generally comprise operations such as call answering, call forwarding or a conference call, as well as acquiring metadata of a call. A CTI apparatus is also referred to as CTI server, and for brevity, a CTI apparatus is also referred to as ‘CTI’.

In some embodiments, the CTI apparatus supplies metadata in a particular format and/or by a particular protocol and/or interaction, likely of possibly different from another CTI apparatus. In some embodiments, according to the apparatuses used the CTI transfers also audio from the PBX.

For brevity and unless otherwise specified, referring to a call implies a telephonic call.

The terms cited above denote also inflections and conjugates thereof.

When having a plurality of playlists concurrently recorded on a plurality of recorders one might assume, at least naively, that the playlists are identical or at least are of same or similar qualities.

Still, however, notwithstanding the simultaneous recording, each recording might be adversely affected differently. For example, by different loss of recorded sections, different fragmentations of recordings, different distortions of the recorded signals or different loss of communication packets.

One technical problem dealt by the disclosed subject is how to evaluate the quality of playlists concurrently recorded on a plurality of recorders.

Another technical problem dealt by the disclosed subject is selecting the best playlists from a plurality of playlists concurrently recorded according to the evaluations thereof.

A technical solution according to the disclosed subject matter is evaluating the quality of playlists by a weighted combination of the contributions of faults in the playlists. Thus, according to the evaluations the apparently best playlist is selected. Likewise and/or alternatively, the apparently best playlists may be selected according to decreasing quality evaluations, thus providing or at least approximating a complete playlist

A potential technical effect of the disclosed subject matter is sounding an intelligible playlist even if some of the playlists are faulty due to recording thereof in acoustically and/or electrical problematic environment.

A general non-limiting presentation of practicing the present disclosure is given below, outlining exemplary practice of embodiments of the present disclosure and providing a constructive basis for variant and/or alternative and/or divergent embodiments, some of which are subsequently described.

FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a system 100 of apparatuses and some interconnections therebetween for concurrently recording of calls, according to exemplary embodiments of the disclosed subject matter.

System comprises a PBX, denoted as a PBX 104, which is connected, as illustrated by an arrow 192, to a telephonic infrastructure or network, illustrated figuratively as a cloud 190.

As schematically illustrated by an arrow 114, the PBX is further connected to a CTI, denoted as a CTI 106. As schematically illustrated by an arrow 116, the CTI is further connected to a recoding controller, or for brevity a controller, denoted as a controller 108.

Generally, in some embodiments, controller 108 is a computerized apparatus having components for interacting with PBX 104 and CTI 106 and with one or more audio recorders. For example, controller 108 transfers from CTI 106 data for telephony management and accordingly provides control data to the one or more recorders to manage the recording operations of the one or more recorders such as starting or stopping recording and/or transferring of the recorded data to a storage device, generally together with information of the progress and occurrences during recording.

According to exemplar embodiments of the present disclosure, system 100 comprises a plurality of recorders operating in parallel under the control of controller 108. The plurality of recorders are collectively referred to as recorders 110, where a dashed line 194 represents any number beyond one of recorders 110. For clarity in some cases each of recorders 110 is referred to a unit of recorder.

For brevity and clarity, controllers 110 are exemplified by two instances of a recorder, denoted as a recorder 110 a and a recorder 110 b, that are controlled by controller 108 as schematically denoted by an arrow 118 a and an arrow 118 b, respective to recorder 110 a and a recorder 110 b. Arrow 118 a and an arrow 118 b are bidirectional indicating that information and/or signals are transferred therebetween.

Audio signals and/or audio data of calls from PBX 104 are transferred to recorders 110 by any suitable technique and/or channel, such as a data link between PBX 104 and recorders 110, as shown schematically and/or virtually by an arrow 112 a and an arrow 112 b respective to recorder 110 a and a recorder 110 b. In some embodiments, the audio is transferred to recorders 110 directly from PBX 104 such as by an RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol), optionally under the control of controller 108. Optionally or alternatively, the audio is transferred via CTI 106 and controller 108. Further optionally, in some embodiments, other methods and/or protocols are used to supply audio to recorders 110.

The recorded data from recorders 110, illustrated schematically as collection of recordings 122, are provided as schematically denoted by an arrow 114 a and an arrow 114 b, respective to recorder 110 a and a recorder 110 b, to a database or any other suitable storage device, collectively denoted as database 120.

Generally, once recorders 110 are started and/or re-started, the audio signals as provide by PBX 104, as illustrated by arrow 112 a and arrow 112 b, are recorded. Additionally, during the recording of the audio signals each recorder collects information related to the operation thereof, such as recording duration, number of packet loss and faults in the network and/or storage device such a database 120 and/or any device used to store the recordings. The collected information is associated with and/or linked with the respective recordings such as by records in database 120 respective to the recordings or by any suitable manner such as in tags related to the recordings, as shown schematically by a dashed arrow 128.

Database 120 is associated or linked with or embeds a program or a process operative on a processor, denoted collectively as a processor 124. Processor 124 with the program is configured and operative to evaluate the qualities of recordings 122 as further elaborated below, thereby assigning scores of qualities to recordings 122 according to the evaluations, thus yielding an ordered list of recordings 122 according to decreasing scores as evaluated by processor 124, the ordered list is denoted as a list 126.

It is noted that each recorder, such as recorder 110 a and recorder 110 b, that concurrently record an interaction may produce different parallel recordings for the same interaction due to the effects of the operational environments thereof. It is further noted that each recorder may produce or generate several recordings of the same interaction and, thus, several playlists would be available. Accordingly, there is not necessarily a one-to-one correspondence between the number or recorders and the number of playlists derived from the recorders.

In some embodiments, the evaluated recording or, in other words, the evaluated playlists, such as list 126, may be provided to and/or requested by a computerized device, denoted as a playback manager 132, according to the highest evaluated quality. The device has and/or linked with a sounding component, denoted as a speaker 134, so that the top evaluated playlists are sounded and possibly heard by a party listening thereto, denoted as a person 136.

It is noted that in case a plurality highly evaluated playlists complement each other in terms of timing, the playlists are sounded one after the other. For example, if the top evaluated playlist is fault-free or with sufficiently small amount of faults from t1 to t2, and the second to top evaluation playlist is fault-free or with sufficiently small amount of faults from t3 to t4, where t1-t2 and t3-t4 are non-overlapping or having sufficiently negligible overlap, then the first playlist is initially played and the second one played subsequently, thus possibly completing each one to jointly sound a likely acceptable playlist from t1 to t4. Evidently, the same applies for a plurality of playlists that may, to some extent, complement each other. Further evidently, in case the top evaluated playlist is sufficiently rid of faults then that playlist is solely sounded.

In some embodiments the playlists are presented to person 136 in decreasing evaluations, optionally with indications where of the degree of quality corruptions in durations of the playlists, and person 136 may select what playlists to sound and in what order. Optionally or alternatively, playback manager 132 determines what playlists to sound an in what order based on the quality of the playlists in various timing sections thereof. Further optionally or alternatively, playback manager 132 suggest to person 136 what playlists to play and in what order.

Naturally, however, in case a play list is scored sufficiently high so that no faults has occurred and/or only negligible amount of faults has occurred relative to the duration of the playlist then that playlist is selected to be sounded as described hereinabove.

Optionally or alternatively, the evaluated recordings 122 may be provided by any different method, such as by tagging each or recordings 122, and the evaluated recordings 122, such as list 126, may be stored in any device rather than in database 120.

It is noted that processor 124 and/or the program thereof or associated therewith program may be located in any device rather that database 120. Likewise, in some embodiments, recordings 122 and/or list 126 and/or the evaluated recordings may be stored on different devices rather than in database 120.

It is further noted that the connections illustrated by arrow 112 a and 112 b may be derived from one connection from PBX 104 and subsequently split towards recorders 110. Likewise, the connections illustrated by arrow 118 a and 118 b may be derived from one connection from controller 108 and subsequently split towards recorders 110. In a similar though differing manner, the connections illustrated by arrow 114 a and arrow 114 b may be converge into one connection that is provided to database 120.

In some embodiments, recorders 110 may be combined and/or embedded in one device, yet each of recorders 110 is operative separately and independently.

It is yet emphasized that the apparatus and/or components of system 100, such as PBX 104, CTI 106, controller 108 or database 120 are linked therebetween over one or more networks (not shown).

In some embodiments, the CTI and/or the controller may be duplicated respective to recorders 110, akin to the configuration described in U.S. application Ser. No. 14/714,374 to the present applicant and having at least one common inventor.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, recordings or playlists are evaluated or scored for quality thereof by a weighted combination of the contributions of faults in the playlists as determined during the recordings.

In some embodiments, the scores is evaluated as in formula (1) below:

Score=1−qErrors+W _(p) *qPacket loss+W _(d) *qRecording Duration  (1)

Where:

-   -   qErrors is a quantification of the errors that occurred in a         playlist, such as the number of the errors or some derivation         thereof such as according to the distribution of the errors in         the playlist.     -   W_(e) is a weight or intensity determining the contribution of         the quantification of errors to the score.     -   qPacket loss is a quantification of the communication packets         lost in communication with a recorder a playlist, such as the         number of the lost packets or some derivation thereof such as         according to the distribution of the lost packets in the         playlist.     -   W_(p) is a weight or intensity determining the contribution of         the quantification of lost packets to the score.     -   qRecording Duration is a quantification of the duration of a         playlist or some derivation thereof such as relative durations         between two or more playlists.     -   W_(d) is a weight or intensity determining the contribution of         the quantification or effect of duration of the playlists to the         score.

In some embodiments the weights are determined experimentally by some derivations that may be verified and/or adjusted, at least partly, by experimentations.

Regarding the errors quantifications, the weights thereof is relatively higher with respect to other weights since that quantification can influence the recording quality to a large extent relative to the other quantifications, and might even amount to loss of recordings. Thus, generally or by default W_(e) is set to 0.7 in case errors were identified during recording or as 0 in case no errors were identified.

Packet loss or equivalent or similar communication failures influences the recording quality directly on, amounting to adversely affecting the ability for real-time and/or off-line voice processing and even adversely affecting the ability for a user to understand what happen during the conversations.

Regarding packets loss, in some embodiments, quantification of packet loss is calculated as a percentage of an allowed threshold that is calculated and/or experimentally determined. Thus, generally or by default W_(p) is set to 0.25.

Regarding duration, it may be generally appreciated that duration of a recording affects the whole call experience; namely, the longer the duration the more of the recorded conversation may be intelligibly heard. Thus, generally or by default W_(d) is set to 0.05.

In some embodiments, recording durations are calculates as a percentage of difference between 2 recordings, where, generally, the duration of 2 parallel recording can be different up to 1-2 seconds.

In some embodiments, the score are normalized to 1 and/or constructed otherwise such as relative to 1. Generally and by way of example, the score is formed such that a higher score implies fewer faults.

Thus, for example, in case for a playlist designated as playlist(1) there are no errors and no difference in duration of the recording but yet packets loss of 30%, then the score is computed as:

Score(1)=1−(0+0.3*0.3+0)=0.91

Or, for example, in case for a playlist designated as playlist(2) there are no errors but packets loss of 20% and duration d difference in duration of the recording but yet packets loss of 30% and duration difference of 5% then the score is computed as:

Score(2)=1−(0+0.3*0.2+0.05*0 0.05)=0.9375

Thus, Score(2) is higher than Score(1), implying, that, overally, playlist(1) is less flawed then playlist(2), at least according to the exemplary cases discussed hereinabove.

It is noted that, in some embodiments, scores may be determined in various manners or variations. For example, other factors may be taken into account, such as communication signal strength and/or stability, or, for example, the combination of the factors may be non-linear at least for some factors which are increased or decreased more appropriately than weights.

FIG. 2 outlines operations 200 and some controls therebetween in concurrently recording a plurality of calls, according to exemplary embodiments of the disclosed subject matter.

For brevity, it is assumed by way of example, without limiting, that recording of an interaction has ended, and that the playlists recorded on a plurality of recorders share common timings.

In operation 202 it is checked whether two concurrently recorded recordings were finished.

In case of a negative outcome, i.e. one recording has been finished, then in operation 204 the sole recording is added to a playlist, generally and by way of example stored in a database, and control proceeds to a state denoted as ‘A’.

In case the outcome of operation 202 is positive, i.e. two concurrent recordings have been finished, then in operation 206 it is checked whether both recording are faulty, for example as detected during recording and informed to a recording controller.

In case of a negative outcome, i.e. both recording are good, then in operation 208 the recording are added to the playlist, and control proceeds to a state denoted as ‘A’.

In case the outcome of operation 206 is positive, i.e. both recording are faulty, then in operation 210 the recordings are added to the playlist and, in some embodiments, are scored such as described above, and control proceeds to a state denoted as ‘A’.

Subsequently, control proceeds from state ‘A’ to operation 212 where it is checked whether an additional recording has been finished. In case a positive outcome, i.e. another recording was ended, then control is transferred anew to operation 202.

In case of a negative outcome of operation 212, i.e. no recording was ended, then in operation 214 scores of all recordings are computed if not done yet. Further, in operation 216, playlists are prioritized according to scores thereof. Yet further, in operation 218, the playlists are presented in the prioritized order thereof, such as described above regarding playback manager 132.

It is noted that operations 200 may be varied, for example, when checking for two recording yet a check for a plurality of recoding may be done.

It is further noted that in adding to a playlist may, in some embodiments, imply adding to a collection of playlists such as in the database.

There is thus provided according to the present disclosure a method for prioritization of recorded playlists, comprising concurrently recording on a plurality of recorders constructed and configured to record telephonic interactions and identify faults occurring therein a telephonic interaction provided by a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) under a control of a computerized apparatus, thus recording and constructing in a storage device a plurality of playlists along with the identified faults in the recording of the playlists, and subsequent to completing the interaction, evaluating for each playlist in the plurality of playlists a quantitative quality score according to the identified faults of each of the playlists, thus reflecting by each score the quality of each playlist in the plurality of playlists, and further presenting the playlists in a prioritized order according to the scores thereof.

In some embodiments, evaluating the quantitative quality score is constructed by a weighted combination of quantifications of faults.

In some embodiments, the weights are determined experimentally.

In some embodiments, presenting the playlists comprises displaying the playlists in a prioritized order, thus facilitating for a user to select playlists according to the evaluated quality thereof.

In some embodiments, presenting the playlists comprises sounding the playlists in a prioritized order, thus sounding the contents of the telephonic interaction to a certain degree of fidelity.
